They are trying to avoid bias in which direction by these pairings?

The etic/emic debate in anthropology if I'm not mistaken.

@LinaSiegl @WAW2022_ @UoS_Management thank you so much! And well done to you as well, I really did enjoy hearing yours too :D

@WAW2022_ @LeahDerham @UoS_Management Well done Leah! Loved your presentation, such interesting and valuable work :)

And the winner is... Leah Derham-Boyce for her qualitative study on job demands, resources, coping strategies and impression management for workers on the autistic spectrum. Congratulations! 👏👏👏

I’m conscious of how exclusive (non-inclusive) academia can seem to #ActuallyAutistic people who do research and scholarship outside it. Good to see some unaffiliated researchers on the lists.

Thank you so much!!!

My officially award-winning presentation discussed the impact of #AutisticMasking in the workplace, its' impact on #ActuallyAutistic workers #ReasonableAdjustments, #Disclosure, treatment and being believed by colleagues and supervisors. #WAW2022

It's my honour to announce that I have been given the Young Researcher Award at the Wellbeing at Work Conference. Thanks to conference organisers, the committee that nominated me and the attendees that voted on the winning abstract. Best wishes to my fellow nominees. #WAW2022

Thanks for having me for my talk on the initial findings of my research on #ReasonableAdjustments, #Burnout and #AutisticMasking in #ActuallyAutistic people at the #WAW2022 Conference on Wellbeing in Hectic Times. Great to hear the inspiring work going on RE disabilities.

Pleased to share that I've been nominated for the Young Researcher Award for this year's Wellbeing At Work Conference. I'm 1of4 being recognised for "original and high-quality work" done by <35yo researchers. Grateful for the honour and best of luck to the other nominees #WAW2022

My DMs are now open. If you're interested in sharing your experiences of burnout, masking & reasonable adjustments at work, you're autistic and working(or worked in the last 3yrs) in the UK, please message me for more info. I'm still interviewing for my research project on this.

@nwando Done! DMs are now open. :D

I'd like as many, diverse as possible voices in my interview sample. It's really important in the study of burnout and masking especially, and I still need a definite 3-6 more interviews anyway.2

@BlackAutistics I've finally worked out how to open my DMs, please contact me if interested :) and thank you @BlackAutistics for retweeting :)

Opportunity for Black Autistics

@nwando sorry I'm not great with twitter! I'll see if I can work out how to open my DMs now :')
